Coppersmith’s House and Carpenter’s House

In the centre of Jyväskylä there are no other residential buildings as old as the Coppersmith’s House and Carpenter’s House, which are located at the Toivola Old Courtyard. They were both built in the 1840s.

The Museum of Central Finland has ensured that you can easily pop by the houses all year round. They offer stories and old-time atmosphere, all for free. What on earth was the coppersmith doing in his house?

What could be nicer than enjoying old-time atmosphere and doing a bit of shopping at the same time? The Museum of Central Finland offers a chance for that at the Museum Shop Sparvin located at the Toivola Old Courtyard. In the museum shop, you can find products befitting the spirit of the late 19th century Jyväskylä, and you can also buy Museum Cards.

The museum shop is located in the Sparvin house, which is the oldest residential building in central Jyväskylä still in its original place. The house was built in 1861.
